easy chair easel


another negative nihilist ninny

who’d sleep with you for half a penny

take the heat between the sheets

never rich but always skinny

it doesn’t take an artist green

to see the things that i have seen

the pickup truck and dixie cups

the girl that’s always in-between

 

boy meets girl was all my youth

no secret mysteries or hidden truth

finish line within her arms

took more than smiling boyish charm

boy needs a car and a job

mcqueen on screen in the blob

when drive-ins finally disappeared

we had a place with bedroom near

after work come home to her

rock and roll and lots of beer

she didn’t cook, i didn’t eat

rubbed her shoulders and her feet

moved in quickly for the kill

weekend parties to make you ill

 

decades pass as decades do

old and gray there’s nothing new

did evolution make me young

thoughts of love and thoughts of fun

programmed procreative needs

finding flowers in the weeds

from rock and roll to rheumatoid

she was just a girl and i a boy

times weren’t simple the simple was me

the less you want the more you’re free
